The Research Squad - "Information not shared is lost"- Ron Klages

News

The second volume in The Panther Project series detailing the incredible restoration being carried out on a Panther Ausf. A in the workshops of the Wheatcroft Collection. This volume comprises 208 pages, and covers the period 2009-2018, and concentrates on the restoration of the Turret and its contents, the Maybach 230 P30 engine, and various components of the cooling and fuel systems. It contains 500+ photographs and 12 A4 colour diagrams, including 45 pre-restoration images, and a wartime history.

Items of interest on 712 that we discovered, and could not fit into the book, or needed more detailed discussion, or were better as animations.

We are a group who share a common passion towards the preservation and restoration of historical items of interest. Our aim is to professionally document, research and publish studies on significant subjects in a variety of media, for the wider public to enjoy.

In addition to the books we publish, this site will contain large amounts of information in the way of galleries, drawings, diagrams and research projects for free use of wider communities.

To this end we are also currently working in close co-operation with The Wheatcroft Collection, a privately owned collection of some 200 plus major military and civilian items. Our intention is to publish a series of books on important items within the collection, whilst also working with the collection to raise its public profile via its website. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Kevin Wheatcroft and his staff for the time, access, and help given without which we could not have accomplished our work to date.
